You cannot add antifreeze with different colors to your car. Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is designed to prevent the cooling liquid from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head due to expansion. Functions of antifreeze: 1. Provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced radiator efficiency; 3. Ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. A lack of antifreeze will directly affect the radiator's cooling performance. When the water temperature is too high, the red water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. If you continue driving without turning off the engine, it may lead to engine seizure and damage.

Is learning to drive an automatic car more expensive than a manual one?

Learning to drive an automatic car is more expensive than learning to drive a manual one. A manual transmission car is commonly referred to as a C1 license, while an automatic transmission car is referred to as a C2 license. The reason learning to drive an automatic is more expensive is that automatic cars are more expensive to purchase than manual ones, and during the learning process, automatic cars consume more fuel, resulting in higher overall costs. Therefore, learning to drive an automatic car is more expensive.

Mnemonic for Judging Vehicle Distance in Side Mirrors

Mnemonic for judging vehicle distance in side mirrors: The smaller the rear vehicle appears, the safer it is; when the rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the mirror, the distance is 10 meters; when it occupies 1/2, the distance is 7 meters - turning is acceptable; when the rear vehicle fills the entire mirror, the distance is 3 meters - turning is not advisable. Below is an introduction to rearview mirrors: 1. Structural principle of rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors involve a field of vision issue, referring to the range the mirror surface can reflect. The industry proposes three elements of field of vision: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror; and the curvature radius of the mirror. These three elements are interrelated - with the same distance and size, a smaller curvature radius yields a larger reflected field. With the same curvature radius, a larger mirror size provides a greater reflected field. 2. Reflectivity index of rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors also have a reflectivity index - higher reflectivity produces clearer images. Reflectivity depends on the reflective coating material on the mirror's inner surface.
